A. Quotes
1. They say genes skip generations. Maybe that's why grandparents find their grandchildren so likeable. ~Joan McIntosh
2. A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. ~Marcus Tullius Cicero
3. Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph. ~Haile Selassie
4. And much more am I sorrier for my good knights' loss than for the loss of my fair queen; for queens I might have enough, but such a fellowship of good knights shall never be together in no company. ~Thomas Malory
5. Truthfulness so often goes with ruthlessness. ~Dodie Smith

2. When I Fall In Love – Nat King Cole
When I fall in love it will be forever Or Ill never fall in love In a restless world like this is Love is ended before its begun And too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely Or Ill never give my heart And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too Is when I fall in love with you.
